With just one week remaining before postseason play, we assembled our Big 12 Football Power Rankings after the conclusion of CFB Week 12.

Can you all believe there is only one more week of regular season Big 12 football? We definitely can’t! The year has gone by so quickly and nearly every team has their fate decided for bowl games — aside from a select three duking it out to make the conference championship.
